Good morning folks,

I am new to Linux and am currently using Ubuntu 22.04. Currently I strictly run a Linux only environment on my laptop, got rid of Windows. However on the booting up the laptop I do notice a black screen filled with maybe around 5-10 missing or error messages which is viewable to me for less than a second.

My question is how can I figure out what drivers I may be missing or what errors are being thrown. Linux is working, but my OCD wishes to get rid of that screen with errors...

I would assume the specs of my computer matter and therefore I have a Acer Nitro 5 CPU: 12th Gen Intel i5 Memory: 16gb DDR4 GPU: 3050Ti M

  • See the answers to [Where can I find boot logs?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/995711/where-can-i-find-the-boot-log) When you find the log entries, copy and paste them [into your question](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1425981/edit) and format the pasted lines as `code` using the {_} icon above the edit window. – user68186 Aug 27 '22 at 12:44

  • Just want to point out that if everything otherwise works properly, the errors are normal and not worrisome, and you likely will not be able to fix them without a firmware upgrade from the motherboard manufacturer. – Esther Aug 28 '22 at 04:09

During boot up you can control what is displayed ... open up a terminal ( ctrl + alt + t ) and issue

cat /etc/default/grub

and look for the line which starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT does that line look like this :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

if not then edit that file and add those attributes to that line ( leave alone any existing attributes on that line ) ... one way to edit

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

if you needed to do above edit then after saving engage that change by doing

sudo update-grub
reboot
